East Texas Roundup - Trade Lists

OK, I'll just load a bunch up and we'll toss 'em out there! LOL!

Maggie... I know Phyllis will help me load some in the "lowboy"... if you are tossing any..LOL

what are we loading that is being tossed????
my head is still spinning from looking at Emma's list and everyones posts since this morning
but then it does get hot on the bus in the afternoon and when you have poison ivy on your hands and feet it's not very comfy LOL...word to wise do not go out pull wisteria vines, diggin and plantin in the backyard in sandals and no gloves when you know there are still spots of the dang stuff but you just didn't' see it ...hehehehehe.

question out to y'all ...my oldest niece is coming with my folks and will be with me Saturday. She is just getting into gardening and having a blast with it what do we have down here that would make it up in central Illinois? I'm hoping to get her connected in DG so she will have a place to go for help when she gets back home.
I will gladly give up some of my trades for plants that would work for her up north if there is any.

Maggiedew I have you down for sweet herb 'Lippia dulcis'. If you have any pink or white butterfly ginger left, I would love some. I am also interested in any tomatoes and the malabar.

Becky I will get you some mexican heather. I will try to get you some sweet herb too, but it is hard to transplant without it dying. Only one of 5 plants that I potted last weekend is still looking fresh. Maybe that is why it is noted to be a protected species on plantfiles.

Emma I would LOVE a Ipomoea indica Blue Dawn-Dark blue morning glory.
I would also like a clivia miniata 'orange' and a fig tree ficus pitite negra cutting if no one else has spoken for one. I will also find homes for any 4 o'clocks that no one wants.

That is all of my piggy list!
Tabitha

Emma could I have your Iocroma, a 30' banana, a night blooming cerius and one of each EE. Thanks.

I'll bring whatever I can cram in the van and let y'all have at it :~)

Ken may have to ride on top, maybe we can caravan with Pam and Lorraine, that way Lorraine and Ken will have each other to talk to as we're going down the road.

I'll be bringing extras Phyllis.. we can put her name on some

Thanks Beck I know I am sending some day lily and iris home with her from what I dug up here.

You know from reading this thread it sounds like more of us are going to be tied to the luggage rack than riding inside the cars. Oh what some people will do to get plants. LOL
I've been running around for days with a spade and shovel in the back seat of my car trying to remember where I saw the daylilies someone told me I could have if I'd come back later in the month after they finished blooming.

Gee, thanks, Maggie. Can't you just see that? Plants sticking out everywhere and us hanging on for dear llife on top. lol

lovelyiris you can dig some stuff up for me (iris or daylilies) and I might send some bannas, elephant ears, cannas, yellow LA iris, and a pink pride of barbados seedling. We will see how much fits into the car.
Tabitha

Can I interest anyone in a cup of gold vine? I have an extra cutting thats well on its way to rooting
http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/31444/

Tabitha... don't worry about the sweet herb... do you want some of my varigated ginger??

Charlene.. sorry I keep forgetting to answer you.... MAN.. it must be nice to have a DH that will be at your beck and call..LOL I know you are going to enjoy your "shade room" and so will your lil plants... Did you make in on the back of the house??

Hey Caren, I am interested in the cup of gold vine....

Just to let everyone know that wanted some of my plants . . .
I will be working on up-dating my list tonight and in the morning so I can be sure to keep up with who wants what. Also, to be sure on any possible duplicate requests that I have more.
Up-date tomorrow. Hopefully in the morning.

Marian . . .
Yes, I still have your Wisteria Tree for you and the other goodies you want.

Caren . . .
The Hong Kong is mature but not as large as the one I have in my front yard.
I kept this one in a container much longer, so I guess that is why it isn’t as large.
I’m guessing it is 5’ to 6’ and I don’t think we will have a problem digging it up. You will need to bring an old blanket or anything that we can wrap the roots in soil and wet it down and tie it with a light rope that you will also need to bring.
I will take photos of it tomorrow and send it to you so you can see the size.
I will also send you some information on the Bomarea.

Ok, I’ll just go down the list and read all of the posts and up-date my list that way.

Emma

Meet 'Delta Dawn' Cajun Hibiscus
My first bloom was today

Coco-Lulu, got you tagged for the pink canna.

Maggi, if you still have the tomato plants & nicatiana I would love to have them.

Emmagrace, Could I please get any M.G.'s you have to spare? What a beautiful collection you have! Also if you have any of these left: Willow tree cuttings, Red Dragon Tree, Bauhina Orchid Tree, Bomarea Orange, Caryopteris X Clandonensis, Any Crape Myrtle, Pink Turks Cap. Please check out my trade list.

Dave, I would love to try some of your sweet potatoes. The Beauregard if you still have those to spare. Isn't that the LSU sweet potato?

Caren, Did Trish get in touch with you about where we're to meet up with you Saturday & time?

I have all of the wants seperated out in flats with your names on them. Hope it is all included. I think it is about 10 flats of plants. One woops on my part is the monarda-J. Cline turned out to not be the red but purple, so those that wanted it, I'm sorry. Also working on getting the flowering almond but not successful yet.
Mibus- you have been here so any thing that you think will go for your neice is yours.
Madrid- I have a lot of 4:00's here. I will not dig them now but you can come over and get them. They have nice size tuber so we can just bag them.
Lorrain-Did you have me down for coleus and Rex begonias ?
Heavenscent-Have some special things for you, we will talk at the RU.
DD

DD let me put it this way she lives in Central Illinois which is zone 5 between (Urbana and Danville) I think it is so anything that flowers and re seeds would be great for her she is just starting out.... just have to keep in mind she is coming with my folks in the SUV.

Cannagirl . . .
I'll have plenty of MGs. I 'think' the others you listed, I have except the only Bauhina Orchid Tree I have left is the Bauhinia galpini, I will need to be sure it hasn't been asked for.
Also, I am out of the Pink Turks cap, but I'll bring cuttings. They are easy to root, unless David still has some.

DAVID Do you still have Pink Turks Cap?
If not, I'll bring cuttings.

NO more of the Bomarea Orange, so I will check to see if it is the Pink or Oranges ones that I'm germinating now, so still may have one for you.

I fell into bed last night so unfortunantly I don't have my list updated yet and will be working on that this morning so I don't lose track of who wants what.

Emma

I'm bringing sweet potatoes for the following:

maggidew
madrid2000
charlenesplants
beck5711
cocoa_lulu (Nancy Hall)
lovelyiris

I'll take as many cuttings as I can to hopefully have extras in case anyone wants any when they see them. :)

I have 1 pink and several of the red Turk's cap. I will bring them.
DD

Please remember to bring a door prize along...so we can make sure everyone attending (DG and family and friends) gets one.

Phyllis.. I have 1 plant for a door prize... but was wondering if the "Bags" of goodies like at the central RU would be ok ?It sure helped me .. being a newbie... and since I got one of the bags for my door prize... I loved all the goodies in it...LOL

DD, I would love to have a pink turk's cap if it is still available please.
Charlene

DD, how many people did you have asking for Jacob Kline? There isn't time to root them, but I can bring some cuttings.

Ok This is what I have left as of 6/24/08
2 left Mickey Mouse Taro
1 left NOID fruiting banana
2 left Double purple Datura seedlings
These are small starts
2 Pink Candypops Mint
6 Orange berganot mint
2 Silver mint
3 Day Cestrum seedlings

I will be leaving for the lake in the morning and I will not have internet. My list will be closed tonight. This is what I still have and they are already dug and ready to go. I would really not want to have to replant them lol! so please, if you want them LMK! No trades needed!
I will also be bringing a few extras and a door prize
I can't wait to meet you all!!
Caren

Im excited to see your 'special things' DD! I love a surprise!!
Thank you!!
Caren

Caren, May I have the two daturas for my sister's new yard and one of the orange and pink mints? I have two offerings of Monarda fistulosa that I am adding if you would like them or check my list for anything you might want.
Thank you,
Charlene

Sure Charlene, Ill get you down for those and I would love your Monarda.

Heavinscent: I would love a micky mouse taro or two if no one else wants one, and would be more than happy to find a home for any of your mints. It would be a shame for you to have to replant! If you have any tropical milkweed seedlings left, I would love some of those too.

DD:I was already thinking about visiting you to see your rose scented geraniums,rock rose, and evergreen salvias. You also made the peacock moss sound very tempting. Getting to dig some 4:00s would just add to the fun. I have loved 4:00s from the time I was a child and remember them in broken colors, peach, light pink, and coral. So far I have only been able to grow yellow ones from seed. Maybe I am planting them the wrong way or too early before it gets warm enough. I am open to any seed starting tips.

Dave: thanks for the sweet potatoes!

Tabitha

I do hope we all pass some serious people holding signs that say they want to work as we leave the RU. We will need some help for sure. Of course we won't be able to fit them inside our vehicles.

Perhaps, spouses and children will need to take the bus or a bike so we'll have more room.
We of course would need to ride with the plants to "care" for them.

I do hope no one really thinks that they will get supper that night as we will all be in the yard until dark (or later).

Last night I dreamed of new flower beds and beautiful flowers blooming everywhere amidst a rainbow of butterflies. Bees were working hard pollinating and you could hear their friendly buzzzzz. A cool glass of lemonade was the refreshment of choice. Of course, there was a fountain flowing, a gentle brook, shade and and then I woke up.

Yeah Charlene.. and then you woke up in a cold sweat.. it's called "change of life"...LOL

Dave if ya still have any sweet tators left I guess I need to get one or two ...mom has pulled out a recipe that she says is wonderful and I will have to make it so I best grow some tators to do this ...lol

Mibus2, I've got ya down!

This is what I have everyone down for as of June 24. If your name is not down PLMK!! This is also my packing list and I don't want to forget about anyone!! Thanks All!!
Caren

Caren,
I would LOVE one of your Micky Mouse Taro’s if I’m not too late and a Double Datura seedlings.

Thanks,
Emma

Dudetx, I do have you down for the Rex and coleus. Will put a couple diff ones in each pot. If you have any of the turks caps left, could I have one.

Heavenscent, I would like to have any of the mint or datura's you have left, and a Mickey Mouse Taro.? if you have any left.

I still have some:
Small Lantanas
Silver Beacon Lamium
Coleus, Have : Glory of Lux. Kingwood Carnival, wizard mix. Trailing red and several others I don't know names of
Miniature EE's (green)
Mexican Petunia, Pink
Couple rose of sharon
Oxalis
Passon plant (purple)
sedem sarmentosum
Corosporis
Cuttings: Confederate Jasmine, Carolina Jasmin, and a bush Jasmine that I don't know the name of.
Also: Hydrangea (verigated and green) cuttings
Coleus cuttings
Helix English Ivy cuttings. (some rooted ones)

Named Hosta seeds (had good luck with them about 70 , 80% germination.
Tulip Rose Poplar Tree seeds

Hi Caren, I don't know which datura I asked for, (cause I'm braindead), but if you have any doubles?

If I may be so bold as to ask .....I was wondering if anyone has starts of any of the following I talked to my niece today that is coming down with my folks and this is what she said she had in mind for her sun flower bed.

Aster/Hardy Aster - I have some of these in a blueish/purple but could use some for another bed
Bee Balm
Blanket Flower - I've started some from seeds...but it's slow going
Coneflower any color
Coral Bells
Mums
Colewort
Poppy
Any kind of lily (I would really like to find some Rosey Returns daylilies)

I think most of the above though do well in mostly sun. I do have 1 shade/partial shade bed that has my hostas in it...but that is it. Not sure what else to plant there.

and of course, I'm searching for Crimson Pygmy Barberry

Lorraine. . .
I would love some of your Silver Beacon Lamium

Emma
